The 18th Laurie Thomas New Zealand Landscape Salon 2014 Organised by the Christchurch Photographic Society page 1 Laurie Thomas New Zealand Landscape Salon 2014 It is with great pleasure that we present the results of the 18th Laurie Thomas New Zealand Landscape Salon 2014, along with a selection of successful images. This salon honours the memory of the late Laurie Thomas HonFPSNZ, APSA, a fine landscape slide photographer and member of the Christchurch Photographic Society. Laurie was also one of the pioneers of the Photographic Society of New Zealand. This year the salon received 608 entries with 184 images receiving an award. Special thanks go to Ann Bastion APSNZ, FiAP for creating the CD presentation, Dave Slaten as webmaster and to Belinda Carter for creating this year’s catalogue. Special thanks also go to this year’s panel of judges convened by Bob McCree FPSNZ. Finally, thanks must go to the entrants who gave the judges a very tough job! We hope you enjoy the catalogue and we look forward to receiving your entries next year. Catherine Smith LPSNZ Salon Coordinator page 2 Convening Judge’s Comments On behalf of my fellow judges, Rosita Manning FPSNZ and Brian Cudby FPSNZ EFIAP ESFIAP, it was a great honour and pleasure to have been asked to judge the 2014 Laurie Thomas New Zealand Landscape Salon. Each of us has participated enthusiastically in this Salon for many years with some success and it was interesting and pleasurable to be able to assess this year’s crop of images from the other side of the fence. Whilst the top images were of a very high standard indeed it was a little disappointing to see quite a number of images that suffered from such basic faults as poor exposure, poor use of lighting, simple compositional errors and basic errors in post editing. This did rather surprise us given that many of these images were probably subjected to some form of assessment or judging at club level prior to submission in this higher forum. However, there was a good level of images that easily met the required acceptance standard with those awarded higher awards all readily meeting the higher standard expected of a Salon of this standing. It was encouraging to see the exquisite use of lighting and composition in the top images, and in most cases, the imprint of the author in conveying his or her feelings toward the subject. It was great to see an ongoing empathy amongst New Zealand’s amateur photographic community for both the traditional and modern approach to the New Zealand landscape. A worthy exhibition to the memory and achievements in the disciplines of Landscape photography of the late Laurie Thomas. We congratulate all of those who participated in this Salon and especially applaud those of you who achieved higher awards. We hope that you will all have gained good experience from having participated at this higher level of Landscape photography and that you will all be encouraged to participate again in the 2015 Salon. In conclusion I would like to thank the small dedicated team of people from the Howick Camera Club, led by Sheryl Williams, who supported the judging team on judging day and attended to all the behind the scenes planning so necessary to making the judging day the success that it was.
